able to reach Dave's net  WV9E  net week. I dont know if I said of not bit 
Ant. Wise Im thinking im good. A diamond 510 fedd with RG8 to my rig wicth 
maybe it will arive yet this weekend but for sure ealy next week, Icom IU 
28H. it a start. So once I get the Icom I will be on simplex hunting for 
countys in wi. I amost sure i will get a few be fun to find out, once them 
warmer summer nights come and the band opens better for lack of a better 
tern should be a blast. or at least a blast trying.
